...Job was a righteous man, who loved God dearly and was a model Christian. In the book of Job, God made a wager with Satan to see if Job would remain righteous. The first thing many people wonder, is why God would make a deal with Satan in the first place instead of just sending him back to hell. God agrees to let Satan have his way with Job in order to prove a point. He was trying to discourage Satan from meddling with any of God’s other followers. After Satan through everything he had at Job, besides personal death, Satan realized he could not sway God’s people. Job remained steady throughout the ordeal, despite being tempted by the devil and his wife to turn away from God. At one point he does question God’s motives in which God scolds...

...My Job Role My main responsibilities as a home manager are: Care: Initially before a resident is admitted into my home I carry out a needs assessment to ensure the home can meet the needs of the resident, this involves me going to meet them at the address where they are residing or a place of their choice. The home which I manage is a home for residents with different types of dementia and there are different stages, residents that have the onset of dementia are able to answer most questions however there are also residents in which their dementia is quite advanced and they may not have the ability to answer as they may not understand the questions being asked, in this and most cases there are other family members and social workers involved in the assessment process. Working in partnership can have a positive influence on the assessment process, and the benefit of working in partnership is that others can make an effective contribution to the assessment. Working in partnership brings a range of professional perspectives, knowledge and skills to the assessment process. Once the resident comes to my home a care plan is completed using information gained from the assessment and from the resident themselves. On admission the wishes of residents with regards to the way they live their life are obtained. This should be from the resident themselves, if they are able to do so, or from family or other persons that know them well. A detailed history of the resident’s life should also...

...Generation Change: Is Managing Role Ambiguity The Number One Challenge Facing Employers in the Silicon Age? Generation Change: Is Managing Role Ambiguity The Number One Challenge Facing Employers in the Silicon Age? Are you struggling to keep your workforce motivated and harmonious in the face of constant change? Is your team struggling to deal with the ambiguity created by a fast-evolving market place? You aren’t alone, and a solution may be closer to home for your workforce than perhaps they first thought. A recent study conducted by Dr. Ben Searle of Macquarie University in Sydney has found significant links between workplace role ambiguity and an employees’ reported level of anger, anxiety and threat perception. Dr. Searle’s study involved 602 participants across a range of companies and industries fulfilling duties all the way up to managing director. The participant group was asked to self-report on perceptions of role ambiguity, experienced levels of anger, anxiety and workplace threat appraisal. In this study, participants were asked questions as to whether they fully understood what was expected of them at work on a day-to-day basis regarding particular tasks, or a range of tasks. This data was then compared with responses to questions which probed whether they had felt anxious or angry at work. Threat appraisal was determined by whether the respondent felt it was more or less likely that their work day was going to be a negative experience for them...

...girls. Though educated people are changing in their attitude but some conservative section of the society do not consider it good for an unmarried girl to be in a job. Many employed unmarried women give their salary to their parents or use it in meeting the daily needs of their family. They also use this money on their cosmetics, dress, education, etc. Some of them deposit this money in bank or keep up to themselves for their marriage. The parents of a girl child do recognize the need of preparing her for a vocational or professional role. Some people do not recognize the occupational role of woman as necessary in normal course but almost all of them recognize the need of preparing her for such a role to cope with calamities. This has also brought in a change in the basic orientation of the female. Employment and career has become an important part of her life. She is gradually becoming achievement oriented, and is thus having her independent aspirations and is trying to achieve those. Lack of occupational mobility: Most of the working women prefer to get employed at a place near to their place of residence. Many women accept a low salaried job, but do not prefer to go over to a place away from their home. Conclusion: On the one hand, women have very few job opportunities. On the other, they are restrained to join a job because of its social propriety. There are many barriers of female employment in the course of the country’s economic development and modernization Illiteracy: Women’s...

After watching the role play did you change your thoughts about how you would approach the situation? Is there any other information you would like to have had - and if so - explain the significance of the information. I would have reacted as Barry in the same situation. I mean, I would have spoken with him or attempted to suggest him implicitly to do not reenact that on the workplace. In case of incomprehension, I would have caught him in my office in order to discuss with him, what kind of problems could create this distraction. I would have been calm and tried to give some examples of bad effects that it could have on the others employees. In this way, he could realize in what it could be disturbing. The most difficult seemed to be, how and which words adopted in this case and this person. Because how it had been specified in the text, Barry had got this job four months ago. So, he couldn’t be aware of each personality of the staff. Maybe, Barry was too direct when he tried to run him off the job. Because the others were witnesses of this situation and this produced an unpleasant effect on Andy (like humiliation). Resentful, he would have been aggressive during the meeting. After watching the role play, I realized the different situations that we could meet in the same case and the importance to be listening to the others in order to work in...

For this reason we are going to conduct the process of job analysis. This report will apply to all Domestic Assistants across Healthcare home and hospital settings. 2- Findings Job analyzing is a process for collecting information about work performed and environment it takes place in, what is the purpose of the job. It identifies the knowledge, skills, abilities and personal competencies people need to perform their work well. From many methods of conducting job analysis, for this process Ive chosen examining documents (incl. job description, person spec, any other job related records), Interviewing job holder, and interviewing line manager. Each one of those methods has got its advantages and disadvantages. While examining documents like job description, gives you precise information about responsibilities of job holder, it doesn’t tell you how work is carried out, and there may be some responsibilities that are not included in job description. That is why I have chosen next method, which is interviewing the job holder. Mental health environment can change on a daily basis, so it is important that our...

...many organizations implementing the same. It provides flexibility to work part-time and work from home, which is a critical issue for many working females particularly and also among the male members where they can manage their family and work life very well. It provides a heightened sense of loyalty to the employees because they know that their boss trusts them to do their job sincerely, which in turn increases their pride and responsibility towards their work. It has been witnessed that productivity improves when the focus on work improves. It allows people to develop a better understanding of their job and eliminate office space time-wasters like "fake meetings" etc. ROWE also eliminates the illusion of productivity created by the "come early, leave late" mentality many firms require for promotion. Thus the focus is primarily towards results instead of punching the time clock or logging desk time. 2. Identify factors in the ROWE program that might make using it for retail employees more difficult than using it for managers and employees in corporate offices, technical centers, and nonretail jobs and locations. The ROWE-type program has been implemented by various organizations across a broad spectrum in different departments such as IT, back office, etc. But at places like retail stores or bank branches, where one to one customer interaction and service...

...Treadway Tire’s Lima Plant in Lima, Ohio is faced with having to confront strong job dissatisfaction of their employees, as well as high turnover among its line foremen. Aside from the turnover rate being 46% in 2007, the plant also was facing expensive costs for raw materials, and hardcore global competition. Problems having to do with the foremen are not only part of deeper concerns with workforce management, but also stem from being the role that those people play in the process of production. The foremen are caught in between the union and management, and must find a balance between the adversarial relationship, most likely by coping with the needs and interests of both at hand. This can be considered as an immediate problem. As for a long-term problem, the HR director at Lima Plant, Ashley Wall, believes the cause of turnover is from serious morale issues with line-foramen segment and their resulting job dissatisfaction. An objective of the case, and motivation to fix to industry comes from fixing its turnover rate. The plant could focus to reduce costs and increase productivity in this area, specifically. Aside from job dissatisfaction, Treadway Tire’s Lima Plant is faced with a serious problem of high turnover among its line foremen, in which about half of those leaving their positions were leaving voluntarily, and the rest were being asked to leave after “failing”. Therefore, these workers are being faced with limited opportunity for career advancement. To resolve the...

...getting really worried about his situation and not sure how to explain his perspective to McDonald. I’m going to analyze the issue for Green and suggest solutions to solve the problem. Conclusion and Recommendation: Green had strong ambition and willingness to achieve a high selling growth for the company. However, Green was so concentrated on goals without observing the surrounding situation; it caused a failure for him to adapt his work style. Plus lacking a managerial experience, Green wasn’t able to look at issues based on a structural and long term view. Thus he would decide to avoid interactions with Davis after the first criticism, rather than improving his performance and rebuilding the relationship with Davis. In addition, both roles that Green and Davis had were dependent upon collecting information; however, it seemed that Green didn’t submit to Davis’s request at all when he was required to send information. Besides that, Davis and Green’s divergence in work style and personalities had also contributed to the problem. Green prefers to deliver his ideas directly to clients and talk through issues face to face, while Davis would rather to prepare memos and presentations when a meeting was set up. Moreover, both...

... However, some common factors have been found in many workers that cause them stress and in some cases lead to illness. These include the level of control they have (low control = stress), the amount of workload they have (high workload = stress) and role conflict (getting the work life balance right). The job-strain model of workplace stress suggests that the workplace creates stress and illness in two ways, through high workload (putting pressure on people to work harder) and low job control (e.g. over deadlines and procedures). Marmot tested this model by studying 7372 civil servants. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire on workload, job control and how much social support they received. They were also checked for signs of cardiovascular disease (e.g. chest pains). Five years later they were then re-assessed to see if those who reported difficulties also had more severe heart disease. They found that for workload and stress there was no link. However, for job control and social support there was a link. The lowest grade civil servants had both low job control and poor social support and had the highest level of cardiovascular problems. In contrast the higher-grade civil servants expressed a high level of job control and good levels of social support, and had lower levels of cardiovascular disease. Johansson also studied the effect of workload on stress levels - he found that sawyers in a Swedish sawmill, who had repetitive tasks with an unrelenting pace (so...

Problem Statement Was Mr. Hamid wrong for firing Shauna? Mr. Hamid placed an ad for a part-time bookkeeper at a local college and Shauna came across it. The work Mr. Hamid needed finished for his company would only require the bookkeeper to stay in work with him for about two months. She applied for the job and received the job the same day. During the interview Mr. Hamid stated that he would pay her $150 per week. Realizing that if she accepted $150 per week she would not be making as much money as she would if she worked on an hourly rate; she had to come up with a plan. Shauna negotiated with Mr. Hamid and agreed to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday for seven hours a day for 21 hours a week at $10 per hour. In this agreement Shauna would be put on a three month probationary period, which consisted of no time off, vacation, sick days or holidays off. Shauna was a hard worker and an excellent bookkeeper for Mr. Hamid. She always completed every project and obligation that was ever asked of her beforehand. Shauna constantly asked Mr. Hamid for extra work to do in the office to keep her busy. She never took any time off from work, nor did she ever...

...M3 - Analyse the effectiveness of the methods used by public services to promote equality and diversity in society and within the service A method used by public services to promote equality and diversity is by using a quota that states they must employ a number of diverse people depending on their race, gender, religion, age and ethnicity. This method is effective as it gives everyone a chance at being employed in a public service no matter who you are. This method is also effective as it can give everyone confidence to apply for a role within the public service as they know they will have a chance in acquiring the job. Another method public services use to promote equality is by making sure buildings are accessible, information given in leaflets and websites are in various different languages, using audio for information for people who have hearing trouble and using Braille format for people who cannot see. These methods are effective as it ensures they satisfy everyone’s needs. Finally, another method used by public services to ensure equality is the equal pay act. This makes sure that men and women are paid equal amounts. This act was introduced in 1970. This was effective as beforehand, many women were complaining about how they got a lot less pay than men. This kept women workers happy.

...A. Groups and Teams 1. Identify the dysfunctional and functional properties of the group in the film as they pertain to the problem the group is working on. In this film, the numerous functional and dysfunctional properties of the 12-jury men play a big role in analysing and evaluating the main purpose at hand, namely identifying the young man guilty or innocent for the murder of his father. The different roles the 12-jury men play in the deliberation of the capital murder case is prominent. Firstly, a role can be defined as a set of expected behaviour patterns attributed to someone occupying a given position in a social unit. Different groups enforce different role requirements on individuals namely; role expectation, role perception and role conflict. (i) Role expectation: Role expectation can be defined as the role others believe a person should play or the way others believe a person should act in a given situation. When looking at the Jurors’ main role in any court system and in the film, it is expected of them to decide whether or not the defendant should be declared guilty or not guilty. (ii) Role perception: Role perception can be defined as the individual’s view of how he or she should act in a given situation. When looking at the film the Jurors individual frame of position and prejudices influence how they individually perceive the case. Because the Jurors perceptions are unique it leads to complications in the communication process. In the film “12 Angry men”...
